Craft beer is like someone took the worst part of beer and made it the only part. I'm not saying Budweiser is good but it's better than any craft shit I've ever had
Coming from Belgium, it's an entirely different experience here.
We've theorised that in the US, they're just businesses that buy an installation with recipes included and have very little knowledge of how brewing actually works.
Do you mean for the mass produced shit lagers? There is a lot of science that goes into making those as bland as possible.
For craft brews, quite a few brew masters absolutely love beer and brewing and study a myriad of brewing techniques from around the world.
Craft beer is an extremely wide range of types. What do you consider the worst part of beer? Bitterness? Sweetness? Thickness? There are tons of different flavors along the thousands upon thousands of beers in the world.
Bud Lite is brewed to be as flavorless as possible. It's not bad but I don't think anyone would argue that it is great either. It is meant to be as acceptable as possible by the largest amount of people.
Beer, overall, may not be your thing. That's fine. But tons of beers have a lot to offer from a flavor complexity standpoint.
